This blog has been reviewed by The Weblog Review today! When I submitted my blog for review awhile ago I wasn’t sure how it will be received. I would say that the review is very fair and accurate. Although how the reviewer not understanding the meaning and word play of ‘Mine Blogging’ is interesting.

Mine->My + Blogging->Blog = My Blog

or

Mine Blogging->Mind Boggling

Clever? No?

And the reviewer gives me ideas on how to improve the blog. I’ve been considering migrating my old photo site to TypePad photo album for some time and this review is a huge incentive for me to make a move on. I am also waiting for the planned photo album improvement (ability to leave comments, more templates, etc.) from TypePad before I migrate my photos.

Personally I like the dark style but since I am not very good at graphic design I am loathed to change for the sake of changing. Chances are that I will change it for the worse! Ideally, I would like to have the background in lighter shades but no bright (pun intended) idea has came to my mind yet…

You may have noticed that my blog now spots its own domain name, mineblogging.com. I don’t know why I haven’t gotten the domain name before as it is inexpensive and only need to setup once.

Now, if TypePad will support more sub-domains (other than www) for domain mapping then I can map photos.mineblogging.com to my photo albums.

Update: It turns out that TypePad can take sub-domain (so to speak) when mapping domain. It is just that the instruction on their page is very, very misleading and implies that only www can be mapped. So, now my development blog is mapped to typewriter.mineblogging.com. Neat!
